As a member, I get in the local gun collectors show for free. Much to my wife's chagrin, so does she! Anyhow, all we managed to get this AM was a $6 nylon OWB holster for her Seecamp .32 - which was at home. She has a beautiful (and expensive) pocket leather holster she won't use, of course. In my search for a treasure, I did see an old Buck 110 - with a good box & paper. It had a dot on either side of the 110, I do believe. Kind of blocky looking scales - very dull brass. Marked $50, I said it likely wouldn't sell at this show for that. We left with just her holster.

Anyhow, skip ahead - after lunch - trip home. Oops - no fit on the holster. Back to the show - with the little firearm - and a revolver of mine to find a holster to fit. Wifey is happy - gets what she wanted - no holsters for me, of course. Back to the show - anothe 1.8 gallons of gas and $7 parking - for a $6 holster. Of course, I had to look at the old 110 again - literally, the only Buck I saw amongst all of the knives there! I stopped at $40 - he stopped at $45. No old 110 for me. Did I mess up? It was in good shape for a ~30 yr old knife, I suppose. I wonder what steel they used then?

It's odd about this Buck-gluttony. It is so pervasive... I have another CS 110 somewhere along the way. That's going to be a sweetie... still, why didn't I find another $5 and just get the blessed old thing?? Why do I need it?? I think I'll go look at my two CS 110s and smile like a baffoon for a bit - make my wife think I've lost it! There must be a twelve step group for Buckies...

I got a decent 2 dot for half that on the auction site about a year ago. If you really want one, $45 isn't too bad, but you can probably do better.

dittos on the above...
the box and paper work a lot of times will sell for about 10$ on its own..
i have bought knives above , at and below book .. fleabay will verry a lot!
what you have to watch for is were two think the knife is worth more ...
then it can get strange watching the price go up when it is ...
..... bidding wars...... :eek:
 
If you really liked it, you should have bought it.

But......I intuit that you didn't really like it.

Buying things like that, even for an excellent price, is a waste of money.

Find the 110 you love and buy it.....even if it's not such a great deal--because........It actually WILL be a good deal.

This is the first and last lesson of buying stuff.
 
Stainz, there will be more... But if you like it, buy it... :confused: ... I saw one with no dots at a gun show out here in San Diego today for $50.00 No box...:D ... I Didn't buy it, I have one, I think... :confused: ... I saw a new 112 for $25.00 too... :) ... Didn't buy it... :( ... I wanted to buy them ... But I was looking for a stag 112, 102 or a 532... :D:D:D... Next time.... ;)
 
The brass will polish right up. If the blade had never been sharpened, I would have given the 45 for it. Maybe even if it had of been lightly used...
 
I couldn't log in here this AM - when I would have had time to make a return trip. I wasn't that hot for it - the blade wasn't clean - or sharp. My sheckles are destined for another CS 110 - some day soon, I hope. I still think about the Cabela's AG in stag... if it just had Ni-Ag bolsters - and, I left my regular AG 110 with the black blade, but it's prescence is tenuous at best. Not much of a black blade lover here.

You know, if you aren't a collector, a current $25 110 from Wally World is a steal for a real user. Thanks for the suggestions, gang!

I really like it when you go to a Gun Show and see BuckKinves and just Great Custom knives everywhere...
Here's some pics of the Gun Show that was in San Diego 07/12/08... Lots of Knives... The Axe was made by Rudy Ruana, some knives made by Leroy Remer, Cook, Dawson and Anza (Charles D)... Sorry there Not all Buck Knives...











 
Thanks for the pics, but there is only one thing wrong with them - I'm not in them. ;)
 
NO, the only thing wrong with them is that fact that those stag scaled knives do not live with me :D:p.

Thanks for sharing the pics.

I humbly believe that there are probably more Buck knives located in San Diego that anywhere else on earth, even Post Falls!! :)

Stainz I noticed that you asked what kind of steal they used back then. As far as I know they only used 440c at that time. I would have spent the $50 without even blinking an eye! I have two of them in my EDC rotation, and a finger groove version that was made for me. I really do love the two dot blades. HL
 
Yeah - I should have bought it. I was saving for my CS 110, ordered 6/5 (I reported that in the 'BG-42' thread here back then.)- and still MIA. A call to Pete, and you have to catch him on the 'phone - he sure doesn't seem to return voicemail - revealed my knife should be out by the end of next week. He also said that 6/30 when I called. The same thing as last year when I ordered two - the estimated 3-4 weeks became two plus months then. Yeah, folks take vacation - duh - it's summer - wouldn't want to take a vacation in the snow up there! Sorry, just venting. A bit tired of excuses, too. No more CS for me - I'll spend my moola in stores - or on 'evil-bay' - nearer to my preferred instant gratification.

Yeah, I knew I should have bought it - that little voice inside me kept saying "Idiot... idiot..." as I walked away. Of course, the harsh reality is that was my wife "Idiot, you have enough.... idiot!". Reality slurps. I'm going out to eat worms. Naw, can't even do that - gotta mow the weeds!

I'm EDC'ing a finger groove, two dot, 110 I just got on the auction site and simply love it. I've got 5 or 6 finger grooves and this one tickles me, for some reason.

I enjoyed using it in the kitchen yesterday and it did a great job of cutting up all that rhubarb. I intend to gut my antelope with it come Sept.
